Requirements
============
Requirements to install and run PBib:
- You need some perl to run PBib. I use the ActivePerl 5.8
(you can get it from http://www.activestate.com/ActivePerl).
I recommend that the perl interpreter is in your PATH.
If you use another perl distribution, you might need to install
some other packages, not mentioned in the dependencies.
- To run the scripts, you should associate the .pl extension with
perl on Windows, on Unix you perl should be in /usr/bin/perl.
- You need a couple of Perl modules. These are listed in Build.PL.
In this distribution, Config::General and bp are included.
- If you want to run PBibTk (the GUI for PBib), you need the
perl Tk package. This comes with ActivePerl.
- If you want to install the PBib perl modules (not necessary if
you just want to run PBib or PBibTk), you need Module::Build.
You can get it e.g. from
http://cpan.org/modules/by-module/Module/Module-Build-0.2604.tar.gz
Please be aware that when installing the perl modules,
Config::General is silently overwritten.
Installing PBib modules
=======================
The easiest way to do this is like so:
perl Build.PL
perl Build
perl Build install
You can also optionally run 'perl Build test', which will run a few checks on the modules.
